I recently found these. They are java-based simulation games.
The first one is a planetary / solar system simulator which simulates orbits. They can be stable or they can collide or careen outside of the simulator's space:
The next one simulates various materials and it's a bit hard to explain. It's definitely worth checking out. Just make sure you don't lose your entire day to this one!
I've already lost more time than I care to admit playing these. 73's, KD8FUD

Holy crap these ARE addictive...
Thanks a lot, Nitro. Now I'm going to be totally unproductive for the rest of the day "Dangerous toys are fun, but you could get hurt!" |

These are fascinating.
I've messed with the Earth simulator before. It's fun to just set it all on fire and see how much of it clears out and how much remains to grow again. |

There's something hypnotic about the way the fire spreads and blows things around. I'm beginning to become skeptical of cynicism. |
